The front of the church is just plain stucco. They’ve gotten rid of any ornamentation that may have been there previously. The marquee gives the address as 4409 W. Adams.
I was inside this theater today. It looks about the same as in the pictures above, except Lincoln has lost his place on the staircase. I took some pictures which I will post when I get them on a disk.
On 8/17/55, LA Times advertised the Cherry Pass Drive-In, between Beaumont and Banning. That sounds like Wilmington to me. Anyone ever heard of this drive-in?
There is an ad in the 8/17/55 LA Times for the Harbor. Address is given as 23322 S. Vermont. Phone number was TE4-8501. Features that day were “Drums Across the River” and “The Kettles at Home”.
A Harold Lloyd film was breaking attendance records at the Symphony in June 1922, according to the LA Times. It looks like the theater was torn down a year later, per Scott. There aren’t any more ads for the Symphony in the Times after 1923. Status should be closed/demolished.

This is now a carpet store.

There are apartments on the site now.
The building still stands. It says Florence Mills on the side. I will post some pictures I took today. Status should be closed.
It’s an industrial park. No trace of the drive-in.
There is some additional information about the theater on the site that Lost Memory posted above:

There are reviews on Yahoo for this theater from April 2007. Is it closed and demolished?
Here are photos from April 2007. The last shows a familiar name that is now invading Brazil:

I vote for closed/demolished. The new theater can be entered on its own.
Never mind. Another ad says Highway 99, so they were talking about the city of Beaumont on the way to Palm Springs.
The Unique was showing Spanish movies on 10/6/54.
